AMD EPYC 4004 Benchmarks: Outperforming Intel Xeon E-2400 With Performance, Efficiency & Value
AMD sent over an EPYC 4004 tower (AS-3015A-I) and EPYC 4004 1U rackmount server (AS-1015A-MT).

In several weeks of testing, both platforms have worked out very well.
The Supermicro EPYC 4004 series platforms ship with DDR5 ECC UDIMMs and all the standard enterprise/server functionality one would expect from BMCs to Supermicro's excellent build quality. Both of these Supermicro platforms feature dual Gigabit Ethernet - given the focus on value and target market, they do not opt for any higher-speed network connectivity.

For the benchmarks in this article the AS-3015A-I tower with Supermicro AS-3015A-I H13SAE-MF motherboard was used for all of the testing. The Supermicro AS-3015A-I is being marketed as an EPYC 4004 server for content creation, small/medium businesses, visual computing, and email/firewall/application server type scenarios. The AS-3015A-I features a 668W 80Plus Platinum power supply.
The Supermicro AS-1015A-MT is a 1U short depth server optimized for cost and able to accommodate one GPU or other PCIe x16 device. The Supermicro AS-1015A-MT was designed with small and medium businesses in mind around web hosting and email/firewall/application servers. The AS-1015A-MT features a 500 Watt 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
Supermicro is also preparing an EPYC 4004 2U server with redundant power supplies, hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays, and support for two GPUs. Supermicro is also bringing to market a 3U server that can handle eight nodes for web hosting, video streaming, and similar purposes.
